“Grey was AMAZING!! We are so grateful we found him to watch our babies while we were both on military assignments. He went ABOVE AND BEYOND to take care of them and we hope we can welcome him to our home again soon!! 10 stars!!”
“Amber is a plus plus pupper sittter. She is flexible (we had crazy flight issues) and she was flexible enough to stay with our doggoes and house-sit with the pups that are rarely alone. Tatoe and Wally love her!”
“Zoe is an excellent house & dog sitter. She cared for our aging Belgian Sheppard’s dietary and walking needs, kept us informed with frequent pictures of his meal times & walks, and they kept each other company at night. Highly recommend (except during periods we need her again).😁”
“Alba was wonderful with Atlas over the weekend! She made the whole experience easy and stress-free, and it was great knowing Atlas was in good hands. I really appreciated the updates and pictures while I was away. She was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. I’d absolutely recommend Alba and will definitely be booking her again!”
“Nichole was amazing! She kept my four animals for a few days, and when I came back home, the house was clean and the pets were happy. She was communicative everyday and took great care of my pets! Would highly recommend!”
“Ignacio did a fantastic job with our boys! We got regular photos and text updates throughout the stay with details on how each dog was doing. He was attentive and always open to any changes w asked him to make. They were both in great shape when we got back and are excited to see him again!”
“This the is first time we have used Rover and we were very happy with our experience. Cynthia and her daughter watched our girl, Cleo & Lucy, they took outstanding care of them and kept us posted with videos and pictures while we were away and even texted messages us on a daily basis. They took good care of our house and make sure thinks we're secure when leaving. We definitely will have Cynthia and her daughter watch our girls again. I highly recommend reaching out to Cynthia if you want your pets watched in you home, instead of over booked/priced pet resorts.”
“A wonderfully sweet and caring sitter, Morgan sent us updates all throughout the weekend and was more than happy to make accommodations for our pup. Highly recommended!”
“We’ve hired Stefanie many times to watch our fur babies. Each time she’s on time and communicates well. Our doggies love her and so do we. It’s hard to find someone to trust to take care of your precious pets, we are so greatfull to have Stefanie as she is very trustworthy.”
“Amazing experience. Always a relief to know that our animals are loved when we are away. We have a blind dog and a cat and both immediately took to Megan. Won't find a better, more thoughtful sitter!”
“Adirah did an incredible job with my pup, Cooper. She was kind enough to do a meet and greet to get him comfortable and kept me updated on things all weekend. She also took very good care of the apartment. I’m so grateful she was able to look after my little guy and I will most certainly be booking with her again.”
“Leandra took such good care of our two cats! I was so happy to see pictures and videos of our cats getting all the cuddles they wanted over the three weeks she was with them. We were able to enjoy our holiday knowing the cats were getting excellent and thoughtful care. ❤️”
“Sarah was incredible! We received frequent updates with photos and she even went above and beyond to sweep, mop and wash the items that she used during her stay. Our senior doggo Jay got his walks, food, water, cuddles and most importantly attention that he is so used to when we wind down each evening. I must say, this was our first overnight booking with Rover and Sarah helped make it a VERY positive experience. We will certainly be hosting overnight Rover stays again, specifically with Sarah because it went so well and allowed us comfort and confidence in both our dog and home during our time away. Book Sarah!!”
“Emily is fabulous! She’s stayed in our home with our two pooches on two occasions and has been very professional. They love her and that says so much for us. Please book her. We’re sure you will love her too.”
“Sarah was Awesome! She was very accommodating. We had never used the Rover app and had never done anything like this before. Our plans had fell through for our doggies being watched and this was all last minute as we were in a bind for Thanksgiving holidays. Sarah was available, very helpful and expeditious in meeting with us last minute and watching our girls. She took great care of our dogs and our home too. She kept us updated with pictures of our girls. I would recommend her as well as use her again!😃👏🏼”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Nancy! She took such exceptional care of my sweet Piper while I traveled. She was incredibly attentive, sent frequent updates and photos, and most importantly, loved Piper as if she were her own. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Piper was not just being cared for, but genuinely loved. Piper thrives in a quiet, one-on-one environment without other pets, and Nancy’s home and companionship could not have been a more perfect fit. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I am beyond grateful to Nancy for giving Piper so much love and attention, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone truly special to care for their pup. ❤️”

Shelby took great care of our dog, Woodrow!! She is easy to work with, prompt to respond, and sent lots of photos while we were away. Woodrow has a lot of fear and hesitation when it comes to new situations, but this was not a problem for Shelby - her patience enabled her to build trust with Woodrow during her stay. He even let her take him on a few walks (which is a huge step for him!). We had peace of mind during our trip knowing Shelby was taking care of Woodrow. Thank you, Shelby!
Alba was wonderful with Atlas over the weekend! She made the whole experience easy and stress-free, and it was great knowing Atlas was in good hands. I really appreciated the updates and pictures while I was away. She was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. I’d absolutely recommend Alba and will definitely be booking her again!
Morgan is stellar!! From beginning (she provides written page of 'how I dogsit') to sending pics of our pups tucked in for the night until we arrived home late in the evening! She stays in touch, communicates when something is not clear and was particularly attentive to our puppy - who needs a LOT of watching! She is fantastic and we will most certainly use her again! Well worth it!!
Nichole watched our dog and 2 cats for 11 days, and we couldn't be happier! Our dog has epilepsy and requires meds 3x a day. She made sure our dog was safe and taken care of. She sent us daily photos, checked in, and left our house in great shape. We will definitely be using her again. Highly recommend:)
Caroline was incredibly warm, loving towards our pets, highly responsive, and made it so we could enjoy our vacation without worry. All the photos she sent and her attention to detail helped us see how happy and well our pets were doing while we were away. We are so grateful to her and her care for our large brood! Thank you, Caroline!!!
Danielle was great. She was very attentive to all instructions including special feeding instructions, and managed our Great Pyrenees Lily, who has quite a mind of her own, very well, and kept us posted several times a day. The house was left in good order. We will ask her to come again.
Ericka was very attentive and caring to our two cats during our 6 day trip. She was always sure to send updates and pictures which was a big relief. One of our kitties is shy and apprehensive towards strangers, but grew comfortable with Ericka. She followed our detailed instructions and went above and beyond to make sure the house was in order before we came home. We trust Ericka with our little ones and are so glad to have found her. We hope to book her again in the future.
This is the second time we’ve booked with Caileigh, and we’re very happy with the care she provided. She was thorough, attentive, and diligent in managing our dog’s strict seizure medication schedule. We’re especially grateful that Malla remained seizure-free, as changes in routine and stress can sometimes trigger episodes. Caileigh truly went above and beyond, and we’d happily book with her again.
I was visiting San Antonio from out of town while my sister was in the hospital and found myself needing someone on very short notice to sit with my baby, Bear. Lexus responded quickly and immediately put my mind at ease. She took such wonderful care of him, kept me updated throughout the entire visit, sent photos, and communicated consistently the whole time. Being away from your pet during an already stressful situation can be difficult, but I truly felt secure leaving Bear in her care. Lexus was kind, dependable, attentive, and professional. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter and would definitely book with her again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in San Antonio is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $74 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,666 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across San Antonio. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred San Antonio walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in San Antonio maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in San Antonio choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in San Antonio. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
